There was no way that was a close fight unless you're a hopkins fan. And that only reason it was as close as it was is because 1) the ref didn't stop hopkins from fighting dirty 2) hopkins was holding on for dear life most of the fight and hitting low on the breaks 3) hopkins got a 5 minute break for a punch that wasn't even low and he was looking very tired at the time

When you take into account everything Joe was going up against, you have to say he's an unbelievable fighter with his ability to sdjust to anything and everything dirtnard hopkins brought into the fight.
it wasn't a close fight if your a hopkins hater, even calzaghe himself knew it was a close fight.
Nope, it was a close fight.

But calzaghe won 7 out of the 12 rounds, hopkins took 4 (possibly 5) and scored a kd aswell, meaning whatever way you look calzaghe did enough to win.

Even the neutrals all say calzaghe won, it is only the people who hate calzaghe who are still maintaining that they thought hopkins won, hbo though calzaghe won, setanta thought calzaghe won, the judges thought calzaghe won...75% of fans thought calzaghe won aswell.

Guys, give up already, the hate for joe s too much. Big deal if hes british, boxing isnt a country vs country affair, its 2 single athletes against each other.

People should really start giving joe cred now after beating lacey, eubank, reid, kessler and hopkins but its the same old crap from the haters.

The fact is that it was a close fight, bhop proved he is very tough and a great fighter, joe proved hes slightly better...thats the way it went, thats the way the judges, 75% of fans, hbo and setanta saw it.
